The oldest piece offered in this brewery collection. Possibly the oldest brewery calendar on the West Coast! "Compliments of Fredericksburg Brewery/ San Jose, Cal." Two women sit on top of a keg labeled 1891. The women are hugging each other, with hops and barley on one of their laps. In the center of the keg are calendar sheets, with January still on top. Printed by Schmidt L. & Lith. Co., San Francisco, Cal. Professional repairs. Measures 18" x 25" in 20" x 27" frame. The Fredericksburg Brewery was the oldest brewery on the west coast. From the 1881 History of Santa Clara County, California: "This, the most extensive and complete brewery in the county, if not in the State, was first established in the year 1869, by Fred Krahenberg, in a shanty, on the corner of Cinnabar street and the Alameda, where now stand the splendid fabric of Schnabel & Denicke. ...In 1872... a new brew and malt house, as well as other buildings were erected of brick, the dimensions of these being; malt house, one hundred by fifty feet; brew house and cellars one hundred and sixty by forty feet; and fermenting house supplied with all the latest improvements, eighty by forty feet; while the trade had increased to between four and five thousand barrels per year." In 1888, the brewery was expanded and the architecture it became known for--the spires and turrets--was implemented. In 1890, the company was purchased by a British syndicate, San Francisco Breweries, Ltd. [Ref: http://www.brewerygems.com/fredericksburg.htm] Burt Collection
